Just Us (For Troy)

Troy Davis: (Speaking) Yes, this is Troy Anthony Davis And uhhh.....I've been sitting on Georgia's Death Row for 16 years For a crime I DID NOT commit It's been a struggle for me and my family As well as the victims family Whom I sympathize with Really.....because They have been cheated out of Just as much as I have They deserve justice more than anyone Deserves justice Da Grym Reefer: (Verse 1) We look for justice We find just us Locked up Behind bars Fucked up Over anything Over everything What we out here doing? What's your purpose, mane? They saying we are on the dawn Of what could be "the day" But no one seems to notice We ain't got no focus The whole world is bogus But life's the bomb I'm just waiting for the big explosion Until then I'm smoking Blueberry, Purple, Kush Fuck the world And the Bush Cause all you niggas douche Cause y'all cooked the books That hid my history Even trade In return I got pain and misery No language And my past a mystery But that's another story That's his-story ...And we're sticking to it Like we never knew it It's liberty and justice For anybody But us They put the bait in the jungle And then go looking for us But we're too blind to notice Cause money is the motive But nowadays a dollar Ain't worth a fucking quarter But we kill for it Lie for it Steal for it Cause it don't really pay too well To keep it real for it Miss Joyce: (Chorus) As I open my eyes I realize How time has flied The tears I've cried The paths I've walked Learning life lessons While others talk There are mothers crying Children dying The innocent pay While the guilty triumph The Land of The free In God we trust But when I look around All I see is Just Us! Da Grym Reefer: (Verse 2) I have freedom of speech The right to remain silent I'm a product of environment But they just say I'm violent The world is ruled by tyrants They call a democracy But hear the people speak They call it a monstrosity I hope that God can see I hope that he's appalled On how the evil triumph How the good are stalled No justice for the righteous The good die mostly to violence And if you speak the truth They want to see you silenced Silenced as in deceased Casket, undertaker, priest If you want to tell the truth It's best that you don't even speak I pray the Lord my soul to keep Out of these evil streets But when I see who's dying It's kids Way younger than me To watch a generation die Is something to see That still ain't learned that a "gangsta" Ain't "something to be" I could fucking go to jail For just being me Without trying to be Some nigga that I've seen On the TV screen Miss Joyce: (chorus) Troy Davis: (speaking) ...And with me Because I had the faith that God would intervene And set things right You know It kept me strong And gave me hope You should never be able to convict a man Or even indict a person Man or woman Without ANY physical evidence NONE, whatsoever I would never take another human beings life And...the killer is still out there My family is in mourning The victim's family is in mourning And the truth is still locked in ....Because I didn't get justice ...But a DNA case You know That's physical evidence That you can test I had no physical evidence TO test ...to prove my innocence But when their witnesses volunteered To come forward Because their conscious was bothering Them about the lies they told on me... When they came forward And signed these affidavits THEN there was evidence for me to test When they took me to the death Uh, cell The death watch 24 hours Before the execution You know it... It really affected me And everybody on Death Row You had grown men crying Because They heard about my situation They know I'm innocent They was like They said: "If I couldn't get no justice Nobody could get justice."
